"This is my home, my sweet home!"
“这是我家！我甜蜜的家！”
"Your home?"
“你的家？”
"Yes! I got a home here!"
“对！我在曼谷有个家！”
It was my second time to visit Angelo Family Suites. I cheered up the moment I saw the white 'nougat' wall from the taxi window. Though the Thai taxi driver did not master fluent English, he was weird why I said so and asked a question above. After double checking, he rested assured that we were at the correct destination and gave me a 15% off discount.
这是我第二次入住Angelo Family Suites了。从车窗里看见牛轧糖墙的时候，我就情不自禁的开始欢呼。出租车司机虽然不精通英语，但还是略带疑惑的问出了上面的问题。反复确认地址之后，他终于松了口气，并且还因此给我打了八五折。
It was the attractiveness even blessings of this land. People were genuine and accommodating, especially my landlord Tatinut. She dressed well for welcoming and treated me a dish of spaghetti topped with hand-made minced beef.
这就是这片土地的吸引力，甚至是祝福。人们非常真诚和随和，特别是我的房东太太Tatinut。她悉心打扮后来迎接我，还请我吃了一盘她亲手做的牛肉意面。
I've been relishing that flavour since 2016. We were glad to know each other's current progress and development - she made ends meet from TV producers, professional photographers, and boutique hotel study groups; I published my book which contained four chapters for her family story and interior decoration.
我从二零一六年就开始怀念这盘意大利面了。一番叙旧之后，我得知她现在靠着接待电视制作人、职业摄影师和精品酒店学习小组就可以实现收支平衡；而我也出版了自己的书，其中四章还包含着她们家的室内设计和故事。
Over the eight days, I was so lucky to reach out to many amazing people with different backgrounds. Decent Miss Universe was interviewed downstairs when I fancied a cup of tea. Supermodel recommended her independent business - a model academy - before riding her motorcycle back home. Young actor and actress changed several well-designed costumes with the assistance from a magazine team. Lifestyle author shared her travelling photos and experience in mainland China with me.
在那八天里，我有幸见到甚至结识了许多背景迥异的人。当我喝茶的时候，端庄的环球小姐在楼下接受采访。超模向我介绍她的创业工作室，也是一所模特培训学校，然后坐着摩托车，一骑绝尘的开回家了。国民级的当红小生和冉冉上升的新星小花，在杂志团队的帮助下不断更换服装和造型。生活方式作家则跟我分享了她在中国大陆旅行的照片和经历。
Friendship happened everywhere, like a cafeteria, no matter you were ready to start a cross-cultural conversation. A couple of Muslim sisters from the Maldive Islands invited you to DIY passport holder at the Chatuchak Weekend market along with them. They added a new layer on my lens to see the world, including fashion taste, work preference, major industries, import trade, and emerging market.
无论你是否准备好开始一场跨文化的对话，友谊都可能诞生于任何地方，比如餐厅。一对来自马尔代夫的穆斯林姐妹邀请我一起去加都加周末市场购物，我们还一起定制了护照夹。我观察世界的滤镜因她们而多了一层，包括穆斯林女性的时尚审美，工作偏好，马尔代夫的主要产业，进出口贸易情况，我还通过她的描述，判断出了未来可能发展的新兴市场。
What made my Airbnb experience unique? It must be the latest Bangkok Post. Tatinut purchased me an English newspaper rather than a Thai newspaper every morning after she knew my breakfast habit. Furthermore, Tatinut drove me to the kindergarten for picking up her two greedy and naughty sons. I would not forget the days we four had been together.
是什么让我的爱彼迎经历独一无二呢？那肯定是《曼谷时报》。在得知我有晨读国际新闻的习惯后，房东太太Tatinut每天早上都会为我买一份英文报纸，在此之前，家里的桌子上只放着本地的泰文报纸。除此之外，Tatinut还带我去了幼儿园接儿子们，两个小男孩贪吃又调皮。我永远都不会忘记我们四个在一起的日子。
In addition, I was looking forward to seeing her husband, Mr. Wongwarisara, as well. His new cement brick pattern was inspired by Tatinut's fruit basket art, and his former meditation room used to be my private reading room.
补充一下，我也很期待见到Wongwarisara先生。他新设计的花砖图案，灵感来自妻子Tatinut的果篮艺术。他以前的冥想室，现在成了我的专属阅读室。
The staffs were considerate and hospitable; the sanitary conditions were as good as it used to be. The neighbourhood was packed with a 7-11 convenience store, a local fresh market, and a MaxValu 24-hour supermarket. You might see an ActionAid donation stall outside the supermarket.
家里的阿姨们都很贴心和好客，卫生条件也是一如既往的高标准。社区附近有7-11便利店，水果生鲜市场，以及全天营业的超市。你也许能在这家超市门口看见南非公益组织ActionAid的募捐摊位。
Though it was not as tranquil as it used to be, I strongly recommend you to book this artistic place. Chaotic peace is the philosophy which every Bangkok citizen pursue.
虽然这里不像过去那样宁静了，但我还是强烈推荐你预定这个充满艺术氛围的酒店。闹中取静是每位曼谷居民所追寻的哲学和境界。
